COMING SOON!  Welcome to 967 Grosvenor Place

Garden Living and Light-Filled Elegance in Coveted Crocker Highlands
By David Higgins | September 18, 2026

Privately set back from the street on a coveted block, 967 Grosvenor Place starts welcoming you before you reach the door. Stone steps wind up through a drought-tolerant garden of agaves and silvery groundcovers to a charming front porch with peaceful neighborhood views. It’s a quiet preview of what this Crocker Highlands home offers, inside and out.

Timeless Character, Thoughtfully Updated
Built in 1920, this Traditional home offers 2,389 square feet of living space on a 6,100-square-foot lot. Rich oak floors, abundant natural light, and a striking copper fireplace make an inviting first impression. The home carries more than a century of character with ease. Thoughtful modern updates sit alongside the original details, so history and everyday comfort feel like they belong together.

Living and Dining Rooms Framed by the Garden
The home’s most captivating spaces are its gracious living and dining rooms. Walls of vintage windows frame lush garden views and fill both rooms with natural light throughout the day. These are rooms for long dinners, slow Sunday mornings, and the kind of gatherings people remember.

An Elegant Kitchen with Direct Garden Access
The updated kitchen is both elegant and functional. It has quartz countertops, generous cabinetry, and an induction range. It opens directly onto the private rear gardens, so a weeknight dinner or a summer party moves easily from indoors to out.

A Flexible Split-Level Floor Plan
The split-level layout adapts to the way you live. The main level holds two bedrooms and a well-appointed full bath, plus a flexible office that works just as well as an additional bedroom.

Upstairs, the spacious primary suite is wrapped in windows overlooking the gardens. It includes a walk-in closet and a spa-inspired bath, where a soaking tub is set in warm travertine.

On the lower level, a den with its own adjacent full bath offers real flexibility. It works as a guest retreat, a home office, a media room, or a place for recreation. A one-car garage completes the picture.

A Private Outdoor Sanctuary
Behind the house, level lawns, mature landscaping, and inviting flagstone patios create a private retreat. The space suits lively gatherings, quiet evenings, and ordinary days equally well.

Life in Crocker Highlands
Few Oakland neighborhoods were planned as carefully as this one. In 1917, the developer filed a subdivision map covering the hills on both sides of Trestle Glen, stretching from Lakeshore Avenue to Grosvenor Place. The layout was the work of the Olmsted Brothers, sons of Frederick Law Olmsted, who followed the English garden city model. That meant curving streets that trace the natural contours of the hills, with generous green space throughout. A century later, the neighborhood still takes that care seriously. The Lakeshore Homes Association, founded in 1917, is the second-oldest homeowners association west of the Mississippi. Our History : Lakeshore Homes Association +3

Daily life here is just as appealing. Families are drawn to Crocker Highlands Elementary, a California Distinguished School whose spring Crocker Carnival is a neighborhood tradition. The Grand Lake and Lakeshore shops and restaurants are an easy walk or bike ride away, and so is a large Saturday farmers market. The Bay Bridge puts San Francisco within easy reach.

In more than 25 years of selling Oakland homes, I’ve watched buyers fall for this neighborhood the same way every time: first the curving, tree-lined streets, then the architecture, then the feeling that the whole place was built with intention. A Crocker Highlands home with this much garden, light, and flexibility doesn’t come along often.
